The Timaeus-Critias, an imaginary geography between escatology and history
Abstract
The geography of the Timaeus-Critias is the final stage of a process through different eschatological myths around the concept of justice. The geography conditions the configuration of three political models (atlantean, athenian, egyptian); and their interplay raises the question of mimesis against dialectics. Any relation with the environment is one of two things: either a mimesis of human acts and the environment that serves as their stage; or a dialectics between the subject and the possibility of achievieng his or her authenticity.
